Battle withdraws name from draft, will rejoin Nittany Lions

Bishop Maginn graduate Talor Battle officially removed his name from NBA Draft consideration today, delivering a letter to Penn State athletic director Tim Curley stating his intention to return for his senior season as a guard for the Nittany Lions.

Battle, all-Big Ten as a sophomore and second-team all-Big Ten as a junior, averaged 18.5 points per game last season, second in the conference, He will be joined by his half brother, Taran Buie, who will be a freshman at Penn State next season.

Battle and Jimmer both made smart choices to stay for their final year of college and get their degrees then throw your hats in after that.(on a side note check out the rap video Jimmer’s brother made on YouTube. type in T J Fredette’s Amazing its a tribute for Jimmer, it shows him from a kid through high school to BYU).
